I describe myself as a techno-hippy. I was reading Cory Doctorow while waiting for the next chapter of HPMoR. I’ve often wanted a good leftrat community. I feel ya. I have an intuition that Consequentialism is a dangerous philosophy to adopt for optimizers, especially when they get scared. It’s not a huge hop from “saving the world” to “saving people from themselves.”
When I was in my twenties, I’d spend hours a day in forums and on Reddit. I’ve moderated and participated. Now, I’m 47 I just don’t have it in me. Planting a banner works, but it’s a lot of work.
This is about as close as I get to social media nowadays. It’s too easy to get people angry online, and to use that anger as a weapon. Right now I’m hoping I can guide my son through his teen-age years without him being weaponized. Hopefully kindness and the virtues of Stoicism stand stronger against inversion than Consequentialism.
